Alpinestars SMX-1 Waterproof Gloves - Black / Black Really nice pair of gloves. Warmer than I was expecting, Waterproofing seems good too. I'd definitely recommend.
Alpinestars Missile V3 Leather Trousers - Black The V3 Missile leather trousers are really well constructed for protection and comfort with armour and stretch panels in all the correct places. The zips are decent and the sturdy hook and eye at the waistband are very strong and robust. There's other bike gear manufacturers out there then there's Alpinestars.
Alpinestars Alden Textile Trousers - Black If your looking slim line fit good quality trousers then look no further theses are really good elasticated bottoms tho do go over most boots good wind protection and very comfy
Alpinestars CR-X Drystar Riding Shoes - Black / Black Review: Alpinestars CR-X Drystar Riding Shoes – Black / Black
After several months of use, the Alpinestars CR-X Drystar Riding Shoes have easily become my go-to footwear for everyday riding. What stands out immediately is how comfortable they are both on and off the bike. Unlike many riding shoes that feel stiff or awkward when walking, these genuinely feel like a good pair of trainers. Whether I’m commuting, stopping for coffee, or walking around town after parking the bike, they’re easy to move in and never feel like a compromise.
The construction quality is exactly what you’d expect from Alpinestars. The materials feel durable and well-finished, the stitching is solid, and everything about them gives the impression they’re built to last. The Drystar membrane is also reassuring for typical British weather—light rain hasn’t been an issue, and my feet have stayed dry without the shoes feeling overly hot.
Comfort is another big win. The sole has just the right amount of support and flexibility, which makes them great for longer days where you’re both riding and walking. They feel protective without being bulky, which is something a lot of riding footwear struggles to balance.
If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be the gear-shift reinforcement area. While it does the job, it could be a little thicker or more robust to better protect the shoe from wear over time, especially for riders who commute daily and shift frequently.
Overall, the CR-X Drystar shoes strike an excellent balance between protection, comfort, and everyday usability. They’re ideal for riders who want proper riding footwear that doesn’t need to be swapped out the moment they step off the bike. Comfortable, well-built, and versatile—an easy recommendation.
Alpinestars Corozal V2 Adventure Drystar Boots - Brown / Black These boots are my sons he said they are very comfortable but not a lot of movement at the moment but getting better
Alpinestars GP Tech V2 Gloves - Black / White These gloves are genuinely exceptional. They are expensive but honestly great value for how incredibly good they are in material and construction quality, protection, comfort, and feel of the controls. They are well suited for warm weather riding and run slightly small so I would recommend sizing up. I'm normally a size L gloves and XL fits me perfectly on these.
Alpinestars SMX Z Drystar Leather Gloves - Black / White / Red Fluo Waterproofness is good although if you are in rain they will soak/ get heavy but your hands should stay dry. They are sufficiently warm for all season UK riding with heated grips. The quality and look is great. Fit is true to size
